I loved this story so much. Deimos and Dahlia’s story was completely addictive, I couldn’t put it down!

There were so many plot twists and turns that throughout the book I was left guessing as to what was going to happen next. 

These are two people who hate each other, they met at college but never really interacted with each other until one night where things went wrong and Deimos told Dahlia to leave, and erase herself from his life forever. So when he turns up to his little sister’s 21st birthday party to see that Dahlia is in fact one of his sister’s best friends, things turn dark very quickly!

I think Deimos is my favourite MMC, he’s a psychopath who is so unapologetic (obviously), there were moments at the beginning where you think this man can’t possibly redeem himself but he seriously does. He is a dark man who doesn’t grovel, but you see how his attitude changes towards Dahlia and how his obsession grows and it just made me forgive him for it all! 

I felt like these two were made to find each other. They both have their individual trauma’s from when they were young, that shaped them into the people they are today. I loved how they opened up to each other and shared the horrors they’d both been through, and how this further bonded them. 

The spice in this book was top tier! There was so much tension and angst between these two that their spicy life is so fiery! 

I loved this book so much! This world that Jagger Cole has created is addictive and captivating, I can’t wait to see what he does next.
